About the word EAUTARCIE (pronounced « Oh-Tar-See »): in French, ‘EAU' means water, ‘AUTARCIE' means AUTARKY, or a self-sufficient system independent of outside influences: EAUTARCIE, is therefore a neologism. The word was first coined by Philippe Gauthier and Manu Simon in 1997 in their film production « Eautarcie: Le civisme hors la loi » (Eautarcie: Civic Stances Outlawed), about the first set-up built along these lines.
